I was so surprised today, to see that this Daylily was also one that Pauline Henry had bred! From 1994 to 2006 I was gathering a modest collection of the Siloam series that Pauline is renowned for, and had forgotten that some of hers did not bear the Siloam name (the name of the town where Pauline lived). I have always enjoyed Addie Branch Smith, since purchasing her from the Red Lane Garden Nursery in 2004. She has lovely colour, form and substance and shows us many beautiful blooms. Out of so many pictures taken, four of which are already in the Database, I'm glad to have the opportunity to share a few more. The time of day and the weather seem to make slight differences in how her colours show.
Although Addie Branch Smith has only a 4 to 5 inch blossom, I find she has quite a presence in the garden, and an abundance of blooms. I heartily recommend her to anyone who is game to try her out.
